Hearing Lin Qingyin said exactly what happened, not only the uncles and aunts were shocked, but even Jiang Wei: “You mean to say, that my family’s downfall has something to do with me? If I die, will my family be saved?”
“What nonsense?” After hearing those words, Aunt Li slapped him and quickly squeezed out a smile, then talked to Lin Qingyin: “Master, don’t listen to his nonsense. I know that a master like you must have a solution. You give him a piece of advice.”
Lin Qingyin said: “Jiang Wei’s life is very good. It stands to reason that there shouldn’t be twists and turns in his life. He is in this current situation because someone moved his hands in the dark. I can only crack it for him if I find the right place where it happened.”
Jiang Wei quickly thought about Lin Qingyin’s words. What the little girl said was quite accurate, but his family’s affairs were not a secret in this area. He couldn’t tell whether she just look into it in advance or not. However, with their family’s current situation, there’s nothing to rob. Even if they were cheated, their situation will not get any worse.
Jiang Wei was a bit excited, but he also knew there is no free lunch in this world. The 1,000 yuan earlier was just to read his fortune. There must be an extra fee to crack their misfortune. In the past, when their family was still rich, he could take out 1 million yuan without blinking his eyes, but now, even taking out 10,000 was hard for him.
Jiang Wei sat paralyzed on the ground and hugged his head helplessly. A jade pendant suddenly slipped out of his clothes and hit his wrist. Jiang Wei stretched his hand and looked at the jade pendant hanging on his neck. He pulled it with force and handed it carefully to Lin Qingyin: “Master, I have no money. Will this jade pendant be enough?”
The jade pendant has a pure white color and flawless texture. It should have been worn for some years, but it still looks very smooth. However, these were not the reasons that attracted Lin Qingyin’s attention. She was interested in the spiritual energy inside the jade.
“Is your jade pendant valuable?” Lin Qingyin looked at him: “Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
Jiang Wei bitterly smiled and put down the jade pendant in front of Lin Qingyin: “If it can solve my bad luck, then this jade pendant is nothing. If it can’t be solved… …”
Lin Qingyin reached out and put the jade pendant away: “If I can’t solve it, I will return it to you.”
Seeing that Lin Qingyin putting away her things and readying to go with Jiang Wei, some uncles and aunts became anxious. They rushed in front of her and asked: “Will you come tomorrow? We also want to do fortune-telling!”
Lin Qingyin thought for a while and said, “I’m not sure. I’ll come back after I solved Jiang Wei’s problem.”
Several aunts beat their chests. If they learned a bit earlier that her divination was so accurate. They should have asked for their fortune first. They don’t need to wait for several days by then. However, several uncles and aunts also want to wait and see. They have witnessed Jiang Family’s downfall. If this little girl solves their predicament and makes the Jiang Family rich again, then she really has the skill. It’s not too late to ask for divination.
Fatty Wang rolled the scroll and clamped it to his arm. He then took out his mobile phone and said cleverly: “Let’s build a group chat. If you want to consult Master, you can make an appointment with me. I’ll arrange things for you.”
Don’t look at the uncles and aunts old age, they can use WeChat smoothly. Even if they can’t type words, they can send a message by voice, which was also very convenient. In just a short time, they created a large group with more than 50 members. Fatty Wang was about to send red envelopes, but he was flooded by a pile of colorful and artistic emoticons, but he can’t bear to look at these fancy pictures.
Wang Hu: I feel like dealing with customers this year will be very difficult!

The Jiang Family’s old house was in the residential building behind the park. Now a family of five was crowded into the old two-bedroom. Jiang Wei was sleeping on the simple folding bed in the living room.
Originally, when the Jiang family had a good life, only the old couple lived in this house. Every day the house was full of sunshine. There were warm looking flowers planted everywhere. But now that the house was full of people, no need to mention the warm flowers, if they all stay in the same place, they feel suffocated.
Father Jiang’s factory was now languishing. Except for him and his wife, who was struggling to support it, there was no other employee. Now that there was no business coming, all the machines were turned off. They have nothing to do to the factory, so the couple stayed at home to think of a solution.
“Let’s sell the factory too.” Mother Jiang, who used to have a delicate face, was now full of wrinkles and fatigue: “The land and machines can be sold for some amount of money. We can pay the debt we owe, and we can use the rest as capital to do some small business.”
Father Jiang sighed after a long while. From this sigh, it can be sensed his reluctance. He can accept selling their villas, western houses, luxury cars, and even the company, but not the factory he built little by little from scratch. It’s as if like they’re digging his heart.
Mother Jiang sighed when she saw her husband’s reaction. The husband and wife fell into silence in the bedroom. The old couple, who was in the next room shook their heads. It’s as if there was an invisible mountain pressing their heart at home.
“I’m back.” When the old anti-theft door was pushed open, a harsh sound broke the silence at home. Jiang Wei walked in with Lin Qingyin and Fatty Wang, as he shouted uncomfortably: “Dad, Mom, I invited a master back home.”
